Malachi Butler (‘27,GA) • MIF • Uncommitted • 6’2 185lb
Athletic stance, starting coiled into the back leg, creating tension and loading energy early. Shows strong lower half engagement and balance throughout the move. Quick rotational burst through the zone with a direct path. He's already showing signs of physical strength with room to add more size and impact. The swing is clean and efficient, and as he continues to develop physically, there’s clear power projection to both gaps. Strong foundation with the tools to become a dangerous presence at the plate as he matures.

Emani Ford (‘26,GA) • MIF • Kennesaw State Commit • 6’1 175lb
Upright stance with a medium leg lift that creates rhythm and helps him stay balanced through the load phase. Quick hands fire through the zone with noticeable rotational speed, allowing him to stay connected and on time. Keeps the barrel in the zone for a long time and shows the ability to adjust. At 6’1 175lb there’s clear projectability, lean frame with room to add strength without sacrificing athleticism. The present bat speed and barrel control suggest that more gap-to-gap power is on the way as he continues to fill out. Polished approach at the plate with tools that will only get louder as he physically matures.

Duty was able to set the tone for his team in the run rule win against the opposition. This lanky RHP, and his deceptive delivery have a lot of upside as he continues to mature. His compact stroke into a long finish made him very effective in his start helping him create a lot of weak contact. His arm angle and good tunneling makes it difficult for hitters to square up the baseball. Definitely an arm that is worth following as there will be a velo increase as he fills out his 6’5 frame.
